I am using KNC 1 tv card with MPEG2 encoder to stream some analog video to network.
Since upgrade to 2.6.24 it is possible to get audio trough hardware encoder, but new problem was introduced.

Driver hangs when accessing some of it options.

I am using VLC to stream MPEG data. When I try to change bitrate data VLC hangs imedietly.
VLC always hangs when tries to close device.

v4l-info hangs when try to read device info, also simple 'cat /dev/video1' hangs when closing.
